Valentines Day

Well, Happy Valentines Day!

I know that some people think that Valentines day is stupid, and that it’s just an event created by Hallmark and the Florists of the world to have people spend more money in a bid to show their loved ones that they are indeed, their loved ones.

I love it though. The Husband is the type to randomly bring me home flowers and presents so its not like it’s the only day of the year that this happens for me, but I still love it.

I love seeing all the loved up couples in the city, the giddy school girls carrying home roses and presents from their young loves…

Every year since The Husband and I have been together, I have received a dozen long stemmed red roses on Valentines Day from him but when it got to 2pm and nothing had arrived I started to think that now since we are married, the flowers will stop coming.

Shortly after the thought flickered across my mind, the elevator went Ding and the florist walked out with roses, which obviously I was hoping were for me. Luckily, they were!! 

It is completely inconvenient to carry flowers on the tram though so The Husband had to stop by on his way home and collect them from me. 

I must admit, my favourite part of receiving any gift is actually the card that goes alone with it. I never throw out my cards! 

To get in the spirit of Valentines Day I painted my nails with OPI Strawberry Margarita and OPI Teenage Dream on the pinky nails. Perhaps I should have painted them red, but oh well.

I took this photo whilst on the tram, drenched in sunlight, and my iPhone was not on silent so the camera shutter sounded when I took the photo and the girl next to me just looked at me. I hate it when it is not on silent!! Always feel like someone will think I am taking up skirt pics!

I ventured away from my standard gift of nothing or underwear (which is the perfect present to get a guy since they never seem to want to update their own lousy collection despite the prompts from the elastic giving away..) and went to JB HiFi and got him Season 2 of Sons of Anarchy and a Mötley Crüe DVD. We started watching Season 1 of Sons of Anarchy on the weekend and finished it in no time at all so Season 2 was screaming my name.

Has anyone else become obsessed with Sons of Anarchy? Please, no spoilers as I am only up to Season 2!!

The Weekend!

I feel like my Siri is really stupid. Does anyone else feel the same way? We asked her "Is it raining outside?" and this is what she thinks I said, and her response. Rightyo then. I usually have her turned off. She is not as helpful as the ads would have you believe.

I know that I have said it a zillion times, but I want a dog so badly. I got this cute little Sausage Dog statue at Target for $12 and S just looked at me like I was insane. Whatever. He is awesome and lives on our bedside table now.

One of our generous clients gave some of the staff some chocolates, they were so delish! I don't mind a box of artisan chocolates, that's for shizzle.

S has been well trained - if I do say so myself. If he is going to eat them whilst I am not home, he must only eat half. I don't want to miss out on the flavours!!

I wore my Gorman dress to work during the week, I love this dress. I really do.

 It doesn't sit right on my waist though, more on my rib cage so I kind of feel like it makes me look thicker than I am. Never mind. Still good. I wore it with my Zara heels and now have no idea where they are.

Look, a ladybug thought I was a flower. Silly little ladybug. I remember I only ever used to see red ladybugs.

This is how I wore it to Stakes Day if you need a refresher!!

As I am slack/trying not to spend too much money, I normally get 3 weeks out of my shellac, but as our work Christmas party is this Friday I changed it up after 2 weeks in order to be able to have the right colour for the Festive Season.

Hot Pop Pink and Zillionaire - after 2 weeks.

I have OPI Strawberry Margarita on my toes, and it is a very close match if anyone is interested.

Here is a photo of me being the awkward human being that I am on Friday.

After work, I was rushing to get my nails done at Miss Fox  as I was running late, surprise, surprise and on the way a guy ran after me, grabbed my arm to stop me and told me he just had to meet me. Flattered much?!

He asked what I was doing and I replied that I was going to go and have a manicure and he said that he bet I was getting a colour to seduce the world. I told him that my husband might not approve of me seducing the world. He said he wished he met me earlier, before I got married. What a charmer.

I totally give him points for chasing after me on the street. I think that would be a great pick up tool.

Welcome back, Long Arm. It's been a while since you have popped up.

Wearing my Target Dress. The Husband said to me "Love that dress" and I proudly said, "Thanks, it's from Target!!!". I think a compliment is better on a bargain dress than on a pricey dress for some reason.

I took this photo whilst waiting to meet a friend at The Tan running track the other day, before I broke my phone. I still haven't had it fixed because Vodafone said it will cost $350 excess with my insurance. I will also make an appointment to see Apple. I'm getting used to using it now though!

andddd the standard weekend shots. Coffee, Macarons, Breakfast.

If The Husband does not have a coffee, I just can't deal with him. Snappy like a Crocodile.

Yesterday I decided that the day had come to find my jeans. When we found them, they were crinkled and had shrunk from being in the wash/dryer. The Husband said "There is no way you will fit them!. They look like they belong to Ashleigh-Rose."

Well, I showed him. The old trick of laying on the bed and then jumping around to get them on worked a treat.

New Shellac by Miss Fox in Wildfire

It really has been so long since I wore a red nail, but wanted to match a red ribbon bow belt from Review that I am wearing to my Christmas party.

When I sat down in Miss Fox, the lady next to me turned and exclaimed that it was so weird to see me! She is a blog reader and fellow voguette who went to Miss Fox on my suggestion!

So lovely to meet you & I hope you enjoyed your quick Melbourne holiday!!!
